RE: First post on steemit - I'm Udhan

Hello, Udhan, and Welcome to Steemit.

I've heard Sri Lanka is growing and developing much over the past few years. (I visited in 2010, and was impressed by the people and the country on the whole.)

If you can write, you'll find that Steemit is a great platform where you can introduce various aspects of your country. Whether that be a travel blog or whether you cover any other topics, you'll find an audience here on Steemit.

It will take time and diligence. But if you persist and create a high-quality blog, you will inevitably succeed.


Below are a few basic points of advice re posting on Steemit.
1 – Longer posts are more lucrative than short posts. If you make a post of 20–30 paragraphs, it's more likely to earn rewards.
2 – Include some photos, images or graphs, to complement the text.
3 – Make sure the text and photos are formatted properly, so that your post looks attractive and appealing.
4 – Be yourself.
5 – Be interesting and informative.
6 – Create quality content. Steemit is intended to be a platform of quality content. (You will see many insignificant posts with meager content and no quality. Most of those of posts [called “shitposts” by Steemit whale Stellabelle] will earn few rewards and soon pass into oblivion.)
7 – Get online and start curating. Read various posts, comment on those posts you find interesting, and upvote those posts. That’s the best way to attract followers.

Hope this helps for now. Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead!

Hi, Thanks you very much for your support. I appreciate your advices a lot. I hope to do so.

One more point. Submitting photos in the various photo contests is a great way to earn a bit of Steem and to attract followers. Here are links to 3 contests.

@photocontests, organized by @juliank
Daily color challenges, organized by @colorchallenge (Temporarily inactive)
#tepchallenge, organized by @theexplorer

For entries into those photo contests, short posts are OK. But it's a good idea to add a bit of text explaining the photo, to give the post some meat and to make it more interesting.
